He said: “The armed invasion of the senate stands condemned.Its treasonable,an attempted coup d etat .Its an assault on democracy and a desecration of an institution of democracy.

Those who sanctioned,organized and supported this will someday do that to the Presidency or the judiciary. I salute the courage of those senators who heed to our call to stand firm and defend the parliament and democracy.

We appreciate the solidarity of members of House of Representatives. We salute the courage of supporting staff of the senate chambers who fell victims of the armed invaders."

In a related development former senator, Joseph Waku, expressed similar view as that of the Kaduna lawmaker. He said the invasion is a coordinated action aimed at violating the Senate, adding that Nigeria is gradually becoming a totalitarian state.

“Nigeria is gradually sliding into a totalitarian state.The inferno of violence has moved from the hinterlands to the heights of constitutional authority. The armed invasion is a well coordinated action aimed (at) violating and incinerating the parliament," he added.
